'Trapped in the Closet'

Comedy Central

Airdate: Nov. 16, 2005 The shock: It's heavily implied that actor Tom Cruise is a closeted gay man by having him hide in a closet while the characters constantly call for him to "Come out of the closet." The reaction: Cruise was reportedly unhappy with the episode and when a rebroadcast of the episode was pulled from the Comedy Central schedule, Parker and Stone suspected pressure from the actor or Scientology to be involved. However, Cruise has since denied any knowledge of the incident. Actor Isaac Hayes was offended by the treatment of Scientology in the episode and quit the show in protest.
